@nielskoschoreck @StroteBook Approx 15% of public areas would have flooded for less than a few hours. Some of the lowest and frequently flooded areas, however, are the most strategically significant like Piazza San Marco and the Fondamenta di Cannaregio shown here

🌍🚨75% of land is degraded by human activity.
We must restore #biodiversity, starting with our concrete jungles🏙️

#Urbanforests are crucial for preserving habitats and protecting biodiversity🌳🐝🍄

Let's make our cities greener and healthier!

Restoration can offset current degradation levels, with varied intensities and outcomes. 🌏

@henrymance It’s not about accepting a “freebie” but being doing honest work - assessing and trying to understand - and reporting clearly on - what’s happening in a dangerous industry.

[WearehereVenice @WearehereVenice]

@henrymance Even the journalists invited on the new cruise publicity trips can’t find anything good to say and find it all senseless.
Maybe a next step should be shaming the businesses that collaborate like restaurant chains, celebrity chefs, spa brands…..?

Can Venice be saved from the tide of mass tourism? And will a 5€ entry fee discourage the Instagramming day-trippers? Our piece for the BBC News at 6 & 10, with camera @FrancescoTosto6 and producer @davideghiglione

[WearehereVenice @WearehereVenice]

Thanks for signalling this development. Members of @CruiseNetwork will be wondering where a 15 storey ship can go without CAUSING its own congestion?

Important research and analysis underlying #WahV advocacy for wetland conservation, restoration and recreation in the Venice lagoon conducted by our first Chief Scientist (& adventurous sailor). Relevant also for @WaterLANDS_EU #VitalVenice

The Venice Action Site and Ems Dollard are the only two coastal wetlands. The other four (in Bulgaria, Estonia, Ireland and UK) are freshwater systems. This initiative is strengthened by the opportunity to compare, contrast, share and challenge!

[WaterLANDS @WaterLANDS_EU]

Welcome/ Welkom 🇳🇱 Explore the Ems-Dollard estuary in the new WaterLANDS Action Site video! 🌊🌱💚

One of the world's largest tidal areas, the estuary is under pressure. Learn how WaterLANDS & local partners are working for innovative solutions:

This is the kind of advertising we need to see. This ad in the @FT today calls for a fossil fuel #freefuture.
I stand with the MILLIONS ready to help national governments deliver a rapid,  just & equitable phase out.

Activist Shaama Sandooyea calls on #COP28 to include global #shipping in its fossil fuels phase out deal.

Yesterday was the 2nd birthday of #WaterLANDSH2020!

We celebrate 2 years of new connections, exciting fieldwork & diverse research on policy, ecology, finance and engagement for large scale wetland restoration.

THANK YOU to our strong partnership #restoring #wetlands! 💚🌊🌍🌱

@SallyRose49 Wondering how @theportugalnews got the idea that Venice gets a tourist tax from cruise passengers? This is not the case and who knows what the price should be for air pollution, lagoon erosion, exacerbated climate change together with worsening congestion?
